@wb5oxq i'm not sure, it's a compostie made out of plastic but it's not as fragile as vinyl on the recording layer and a cheap pourous plastic core. Not flexible. It's as heavy and thick as late 40's columbia records. my other 50's comlubia record is full vinyl and thin.
It probably is pretty cheap plastic as this particular recording is on Columbia's children's label. Plastic so children couldn't break it as easily but not top quality vinyl, to make the record cheaper to sell, and also because sound quality is not quite so important to a child audience.
@Zefrenm all records are terribly fragile, i accidently droped a 45rpm once and it broke the edge of the record and so it was fucked, i so wish we had back then wht we have now
My parents had this too on 78 rpm. The flip side was "Thumbelina." We played it so much we wore out the center hole badly.

My aunt had this record and would play it on her wind-up record machine. Thanks for posting this and bringing back great memories.

This is the recording that was used in the August 1,2010 -- Mad Man Series
I had not thought about Jimmy Boyd in a long time.. the show brings
back a lot of memories of the 50s and now 60s...younger people were
probably hearing him for the first time.. us older people remembering
as a kid in 1951..thanks for posting..

Neat recording and good quality from a later 78 pressing. I see it says unbreakable. Is it vinyl?
